I hear that sentiment. In the past I have been to the crazy sales which usually center around electronics. Those are the ones where you have to get there really early and wait forever. Last year I got a GPS for the fiance for just over $40 at Nebraska Furniture Mart. Regular was like $120. I know people go nuts for the TVs as well.

That being said I am happy that this year I don't need to go to the really crazy electronics stores. We are getting married next April and we are closing on our first house at the end of this month so I will be looking for all kinds of home type things as well as tools and paint supplies. I know Macy's has a nice 17 piece Faberware cutlerly set that will only be $30 instead of $100. Obviously not the best but good enough for us. That will allow me to take the cutlery set off our registry as well.
